LANDOVER, Md. (WUSA9) -- We have a big update to a WUSA9 exclusive that aired back in October. That's when we discovered a blind man had been evicted from his home in Prince George's County, along with his wife and his seeing eye dog.

That eviction caused a fire storm of criticism toward the managers of that co-op housing complex. There have been several investigations since then and just last week, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed a bill that is a direct result of Ray Raysor's eviction.

Ray, a blind man, legally disabled, had been evicted from his apartment where he lived for 40 years. Ray's wife and seeing eye dog were also evicted.

On April 19 at 12:51 a.m., officers responded to the 7300 block of Castle Road to investigate a domestic disturbance. The victim, a 44-year-old woman, reported that she and Jackson were involved in a verbal altercation that had escalated, according to police.

Police say that Jackson assaulted the victim and bit her leg. At some time during the altercation, Jackson grabbed a knife and charged towards the victim. Another person was able to separate the two women.

As the world embraces the age of technology, everything is available online----including the sale of pets. Guardians of Rescue, a nationwide animal rescue organization, has stepped up to protect these poor animals from the cruelty of being bought and sold via the Internet. Guardians of Rescue is working with law enforcement in various states to try to reduce the amount of harm inflicted on these innocent dogs.

“Getting a new pet is always a big decision, and buying a dog you haven’t met in person is not smart,” says Dori Scofield, vice-president of Guardians of Rescue, an organization whose mission is to protect the well-being of all animals. “If you buy a dog through the Internet, you risk supporting puppy mill cruelty and being scammed out of your money. The Internet is also used by criminals to buy and sell fighting dogs, using certain understood language.”
